DEPART WASHINGTON (DULLES) 5:40PM SA210 *Please be aware that this flight stops in Accra, Ghana roughly 10 hours through the flight. The aircraft is on the ground for an hour during which time you will remain on the plane. Other passengers may join or leave the flight and a cleaning crew will move through the aircraft.* Friday – 01 April 2022 Arrive Johannesburg ARRIVE JOHANNESBURG 5:30PM On arrival at Johannesburg’s Oliver Tambo International Airport, collect your luggage and then clear Customs & Immigration. You will then be met by a Travel representative and transferred to your hotel. Rest of evening at leisure… Legacy’s latest luxury hotel, The Da Vinci on Nelson Mandela Square is located adjacent to the prime location of Nelson Mandela Square. This is Legacy’s fourth hotel on the cosmopolitan square in the heart of the Sandton business and leisure district. One could speak of the opulence of the rooms, the restaurant and lounge, pioneering fitness centre and health spa but we suggest you come and see for yourself. Guests can enjoy the endless edge swimming pool, or perhaps, even the convenience of luxurious shopping at the Legacy Corner Mall and Sandton City an elevator trip away. Accommodation: The Da Vinci on Nelson Mandela Square Saturday – 02 April 2022 Johannesburg This morning you will be taken on a half day Soweto tour followed by lunch at Sakhumzi Restaurant. Travel to Soweto (South Western Township), the largest black residential area in South Africa. This “city within a city” consists of 50 suburbs and essentially acts as a labor reservoir for the greater metropolitan area of the Witwatersrand. In many ways, the story of Soweto is the story of South Africa; this is where the seeds of South African freedom took root. The tour includes all the major points of interest, such as the Aparthied Museum, Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Baragwanath taxi rank, Freedom Square, Hector Pietersen Memorial and Nelson Mandela’s former home. This sprawling township was the scene of the tragic riots of 1976. Despite crowded, chaotic conditions, there is a tangible sense of community in these neighborhoods which the ordered, walled suburbs lack. It is virtually impossible not to be moved by what you will witness. Return to the hotel to rest a bit and freshen up for dinner Later this evening you will be transferred to “The House on the Hill” for a Special CST “Welcome Dinner” -- Accommodation: The Da Vinci on Nelson Mandela Square (B, L, D) Sunday – 03 April 2022 Johannesburg This morning you will be taken on a half day Lesedi Cultural Village tour including lunch. Lesedi Cultural Village is a multi-cultural African village, set amongst the pristine Bushveld and rocky hills less than an hour’s drive from the city of Johannesburg. The village consists of a number of different homesteads or traditional villages: the Xhosa, with their beautiful thatched homes and red blankets; the Zulu with their fighting sticks and cozy beehive huts; the Pedi, with their courtyards and rhythmic drums; and the conical straw hats and sturdy mountain ponies of the Basotho. Guests experience a traditional welcome upon arrival, guided cultural walkabout through two of the four homesteads. The visit includes a Show and a traditional dinner. Accommodation: The Da Vinci on Nelson Mandela Square (B, D) Monday – 04 April 2022 Johannesburg/Pilanesberg This morning the group will be taken by private transfer from the hotel by coach to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. The 4-star Bakubung Bush Lodge is a two-hour drive from Johannesburg and ten minutes from Sun City. This is a place of breath-taking beauty and serenity. Concealed in the rich expanses of the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park, Bakubung, or “People of the Hippo”, offers everything one would need to get in touch with the bush. All rooms are air-conditioned, televisions with DSTV, en-suite bathrooms, electric shaving plugs, coffee/tea making machines and a hair dryer. The Pilanesberg National Park is the fourth largest national park in the country and is home to a large selection of animal and bird life including the Big Five. The Pilanesberg Mountains offer guests sightings of a wide diversity of wildlife including lions, elephants, white and black rhinos, buffaloes, leopards, zebras, hyenas, giraffes, hippos and crocodiles. Take a late afternoon game drive. Accommodation: Bakubung Bush Lodge (B, D) Tuesday – 05 April 2022 Bakubung The day starts as dawn breaks over the African bushveld. Venture out into the scenic Pilanesberg Game Reserve where an abundance of wild life proliferates and the Big Five are a common sight. Pilanesberg wildlife Aside from game viewing you’ll enjoy the
